Synopsis

From USA Today bestselling author Marley Valentine comes an all new emotional, hurt/comfort, polyamorous romance.

We longed. We lost. We loved. Desperately.

I thought I had my life all figured out. But after a college football accident leaves me deaf, I was learning how to live all over again.

I expected the anger, the frustration, and the struggle to readjust, but what I didn’t expect to happen amongst the chaos, was to fall in love.

Especially not with two men.

Rough-edged puzzle pieces, Rhys, Samuel, and I were nothing but aching memories, painful realities, and hidden scars.

We were products of our pasts, abandoned and unloved, messy and complicated. Individually we had baggage; together we had mountains to climb.

But when the three of us were tangled up in one another, spilling secrets in the dark, hearts beating in sync, nothing else mattered but them.

We needed to break the cycle, because they deserved love… And who knows, maybe I finally did too.

Heart wrenching but so good!

Unloved is book two in The Unlucky Ones series but it can be read as a standalone. Having said that, I’m glad that I read Unwanted first. Both stories take place within the same timeframe but the focus is on different main characters.

Marley Valentine stories always tear me up and put me back together again; Unloved is no exception. This is a poly romance with one of the MC’s recently suffering a complete loss of hearing. The blurb pretty much says it all but I do want to note that if you have any triggers, you should look at the Author’s Note in the sample on Amazon.

Unloved had my emotions all over the place and I love it when a book makes me feel things so deeply. This is a great friends-to-lovers story with the added bonus of those two friends finding the perfect third to make them complete.

I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series about a group of foster siblings who formed strong bonds with each other and created their own found family.
